Graco® Modes™ Nest2Grow™ Travel System, Ren

This is a good, sturdy stroller. It maneuvers well. The seat is more narrow than I prefer, but my 3 year old is happy enough in it. Love that we can use it with just her or with the baby’s car seat as well.

This is the most versatile stroller with configurations to use from birth to toddler age. I love it that a single stroller expands to a double as your family grows.

Expands to two children when needed.

This is a very nice stroller that folds easily and has plenty of space for storage. Functionality and ease of use were in mind when they designed this. It fits all car seats made by Graco securely, and detaches easily when transferring to the car. The little storage area under the seat is also nice, it can hold an entire bag and then some, or even a tired small dog on a walk. The wheels are smooth rolling and the brake is super secure. Once folded the unit takes up minimal space and stows pretty well. The stroller is designed to work through the life of your child provided you take care of it, as it functions as a toddler stroller when the time comes.

Just for context, I am 9 months pregnant with my 5th and most likely last child. My other kids are 5, 11,11 and 16 so they are well beyond the stroller age. I am very familiar with the various stroller brands, previous Graco models, and what I need/want in a stroller.

I really wanted to like this stroller but it is such poor quality. First the buttons on the car seat do not release correctly and it takes several tries to get the car seat to release from the carseat base and from the stroller. The attachments that hold the car seat to the stroller are flimsy and do not align with the car seat. It takes multiple attempts to get the carseat attached each time. I’ve had this stroller 10 weeks and the wheels have already stopped working. They constantly get stuck not facing forward which obviously makes steering difficult. At the store they won’t even roll and they just slide across the floor. I was hoping I would be able to have this stroller last through two kids but it looks like it won’t even survive one.

I had twins and this was perfect to turn a single stroller to a double

This is a very good quality stroller, that actually is pretty adjustable and even extendable if you want to hold more than one child. You’re able to easily to adjust the height of the stroller so you can be close to your baby depending on your situation. My favorite part about the stroller, is that you can actually extend it to fit two babies, instead of needing to buy a whole new stroller and carrying around 2 strollers. I also like that you’re able to face the baby forward or backwards depending on what your doing and what you want the baby to see or if you want to keep an eye on the baby. It’s pretty amazing that there are so many different options when it comes to using this stroller. It’s very smooth when pushing around, and fairly lightweight and easy to fold up and take with you in your car.

This is a high-quality and lightweight travel system with one negative. You need both hands to fold the stroller. One-hand folding mechanisms are preferred especially when one hand is busy with the kid or his/her stuff.
